FRONTENAC, NEW YORK

OPENS IN JUNE
AND CONTINUES THROUGH SEPTEMBER

ST. LAWRENCE RIVER

" From the great inland lakes to the
Atlantic Ocean, a distance of a thousand
miles, flows the St. Lawrence River, the
pure, the majestic and the picturesque
stream of all the world.
In its rock-lined course, miles wide in
places and again narrowing to rapid chan
nels, this river of moving crystal forms at
its head the charming setting for that jewel
of nature's work, the Thousand Islands."

Hotel Frontenac, the ideal summer resort of
America, is located on Island Frontenac, Thousand
Islands, .St. Lawrence River, New York, in the
heart of this magnificent region and overlooks an
unrivaled panorama of river, islands and woodland.
It is recognized as one of the leading resorts,
unequaled in location, equipment and management,
and enjoys a clientele second to none.

The main building and annex contain over three
hundred and fifty luxuriously furnished rooms, the
majority being en suite, and all commanding exten
sive views of the river and islands. There are one
hundred private baths, together with numerous
general baths on each floor. The buildings are
lighted with electricity and warmed by steam and
open fires; they are well equipped with elevators,
numerous stairways and exits. The plumbing and
fixtures are the best obtainable and no expense
has been spared to make this hotel the finest of
its kind.

The public rooms are unusually large and artis
tically furnished ; the library and reading rooms are
well supplied with standard fiction, magazines and
papers. The Frontenac is celebrated for its high-class
service and excellent table.

The sanitary arrangements are beyond criticism;
the island is perfectly drained and it is entirely free
from flies and mosquitoes.
A resident physician is in attendance at the
hotel during the season.
All water used is the product of Frontenac
Crystal Spring, and is remarkable for its purity,
softness and curative properties ; it is bottled at the
spring by the most approved method and stored in
refrigerators until used.

Island Frontenac contains about two hundred
acres; the shores are bold and rocky, fringed with
forest growth, and abound in pleasant paths and
secluded nooks.
The grounds are beautifully parked, contain fine
lawns, numerous walks and roads, and a superb
nine-hole golf course.
Grouped about the island and completely sur
rounding the hotel are masses of shrubs and flowers,
the ever changing color and perfume of which
are a continual delight, and added to the natural
beauty of the region form a combination not readily
forgotten.

The golf course is an agreeable surprise to golfers;
being situated on an island, many strangers infer
that it is a course in name only. It consists of nine
holes, with a playing distance of about two thousand
six hundred yards ; it follows the shore of the island,
has a fine, soft turf and many natural and artificial
hazards. An unique feature is that at no point
do you lose sight of the river, and many of the views
are exceedingly beautiful. A competent instructor
is in charge who keeps a large stock of supplies
constantly on hand. No charge is made to hotel
patrons for use of the links.

Cloudless days; cool, dry nights; no fogs or
mists ; perfect immunity from hay fever ; balmy
breezes that rout oppressive heat ; no humidity ;
gorgeous sunsets ; winding channels and day-long
stretches of open water, pure and limpid ; emerald
isles of every form and size — these are some of the
natural attractions.
An orchestra, dancing, fine nine-hole golf course,
tennis courts, bowling, billiards, boating, fishing, and
numerous other forms of amusement, also delight
and entertain.

The finest fishing grounds in this region are
located within the immediate vicinity, black bass,
muskallonge, pike, pickerel, perch and other fish
abound ; and a day's sport with the rod, coupled
with one of the famous island dinners prepared at
an open fire on one of the many islands, as only a
Frontenac guide can prepare it, is a long remem
bered event.
The guides are excellent cooks and their skiffs
are models of safety, neatness and utility, being
thoroughly equipped with all kinds of fishing tackle.

The Thousand Islands are the delight of lovers
of yachting ; the great purity of the water ; the ever
changing scenery, as the innumerable channels or
broad open stretches are traversed ; safe and con
venient harbors; and at Frontenac the finest docks
on the whole St. Lawrence, all contribute toward
making this an ideal spot.
Three different excursion yachts leave Frontenac
daily, morning and afternoon, for the world re
nowned Fifty Mile Ramble among the islands, and
in the evening the steamer St. Lawrence makes
her famous Search Light Excursion.
Yachts and launches of every description may
be chartered for any length of time at reasonable
rates.

The Frontenac owns over three thousand feet
of dock, which is always at the disposal of guests
with yachts ; the arrangement is such that a good
harbor is assured. These docks have been patron
ized to such an extent that it has been necessary
to double their capacity during the past two years.

_^_ i-.

Directly in front of the hotel are the racing
courses of the Frontenac Yacht Club. Having
been surveyed on the ice they are absolutely ac
curate and are pronounced by experts to be the
finest auto boat courses in the world.

Some of the fastest yachts built participated in
the races last season and many handsome cups were
given in the various events. The races this season
will be an attractive feature.

I ask myself is this a dream ?
Will it all vanish into air?
Is there a land of such supreme
